Yorkshire signal box map

Oakenshaw has now closed and passed to wakefield Kirkgate.

Hickleton and Moorthorpe are both also closed and now controlled by York IECC. I couldnt confirm if its part of Ardsley workstation or not.

Nice maps, just one thought.
Where you have a change of box at the boundary of page 1 and 2 it might make it a bit clearer if you continued one or other colors over the page so the interface was shown.

Masborough Junction has been labelled as Mexborough Junction aswell.

Other than that all looks fine and Dandy!

What era did you decide to go for? If "bang up to date", at least Sheffield PSB has gone over to York ROC - I can't find any details on what, if anything else, the ROC has taken control of.

Boxes are not shown for the Harrogate Loop and the lines towards Goole- these lines are controlled by a multitude of boxes, and there's little purpose in showing them all- not to mention the fact that I'd run out of colours. As a final note, I have no idea if any of the unavailable boxes are in development, or will ever be developed: they're shown simply to aid understanding of the area.

Fair enough: you could say that the black dark coloured line on the first page represents a line containing areas of mechanical signalling. For anyone who is unfamilliar with the area and is wondering the boxes from Skelton Junction are, in order:

- Poppleton * **
- Hessay
- Marston Moor *
- Hammerton ** (mechanical signals: box in metal "shed")
- Cattal * **
- Knaresborough * **
- Belmont *
- Starbeck *
- Harrogate *
- Rigton *

* = easy to photograph | ** = places I have been for photos.

That is all I am aware of anyway.

HTIOI,

Hessay, Marston Moor and Belmont are Crossing boxes only. Rigton is now closed and worked CCTV from Harrogate, although if you're including Rigton you need to include Horsforth as well. The line from Horsforth to Harrogate is now TCB worked from a workstation in Harrogate box.

In view of there being semaphores on both sides of the crossing at Marston Moor I am surprised it is a gatebox. I have checked with Phil Deaves' "railwaycodes" site which confirms it was downgraded 04-Jun-1972.

Why the suprise? Its not a block post as theres no suitable passing place. Its the same as any other crossing protected by semaphores in both directions. Theres a few like it still on the Network. Howsham on the Scarbro line being a good example.
